Ukrainians living in the frontline are struggling without gas, electricity, and heating. They cook outside and warm up by campfires. We can provide them with critically needed gas burners to cook inside and heat their houses in winter.
Join us to help entire families survive the cold months.
200 GAS BURNERS
Enough to supply 200 independent households
As of December 31, we are halfway to our goal with $10,539.55 raised. This allows us to buy gas burners for 105 households!
It’s fast and easy way for people to cook food – outside campfires are not an option in winter. We can’t let families starve and freeze to death.
Why Gas Burners are the best option:
Our current goal: $20,000. It's enough to supply 200 independent households
Buy one burner with fill-up to supply one family
Donate any contributing amount to top up the overall amount
The trip is planned to make it in time before the coldest nights. You can help us with any amount – every dollar helps
UkraineNow & Law for People gather efforts for Vovchansk, a small town located 3 km from the Russian border. Our partners from “Law for People" have made dozens of “runs” into the danger zone to deliver tons of food, hygiene supplies, and most immediate aid to the frontlines. On their recent trip to Kupiansk, they delivered 5 tons of humanitarian aid.
With funding, their next trip will bring back the ability to cook and warm up houses to people living in the frontline territories.

About 50km from the frontline, people in Pokrovs'k, Donetsk region, struggle with water supplies every day. Families with disabled children and those in need received hygiene items and baby formulas.
Run by UkraineNow, Blueboard, Liutyi, The Shield
Pokrovs’k is a city in the East of Ukraine that has been greatly affected by the war. Many settlers from currently occupied territories have come there, looking for safety and hoping to return to their homes once the war is over.
However, as the town is constantly under shelling, they lack basic necessities like water and hygiene items. This is a challenge for families with kids and those who have special health conditions.
Our partners, social organization “The Shield”, works in Pokrovsʼk helping vulnerable members of the community to get access to those essential goods.
We joined efforts with Charity Foundation “Liutyi” to buy and deliver hygiene items and baby formulas to those people.
The purchase was enabled by Blueboard, a US-based company that donated the significant amount to fund the delivery.
The purchase was made by volunteers of UkraineNow in the city of Dnipro to ensure that the products reached the recipients in a timely manner.
The delivery of the humanitarian aid was handled by CF “Liutyi”. However, this was not an easy task as the volunteers faced many dangers during the delivery process. Given the proximity to the frontline zone, the volunteers had to be extra cautious to ensure their safety.

Upon arrival in Pokrovs’k, the hygiene items and baby formula were distributed by the “The Shield” organization.
“The Shield” handed out help to single mothers, families with many children, the elderly, and the disabled. These individuals face a range of challenges, from physical disabilities to financial hardships. War has made those challenges even harder.
Many have had to flee their homes due to the war and are struggling to rebuild their lives in a new city.
One of the individuals who received hygiene items was Alina, a 27-year-old girl who requires assistance with eating and daily tasks. Her father recently had a stroke, and her mother is constantly by her side, providing care and support.
And of all that her family faces during war.
There are also about 50 families with children who require assistance, including families with disabled children.
Hygiene items and baby formula are a regular need for those living in Pokrovs'k, as the city experiences significant challenges with water supply. In Pokrovs'k, volunteers met a displaced family from a currently occupied city with seven children who require assistance.
Sometimes there is no water for a week, making it difficult for families to maintain adequate hygiene. Even simple items like wet wipes become critical.
The success of this humanitarian project would not have been possible without the support of donors. The generosity and dedication of the employees of the US-based company Blueboard made a significant difference in the lives of people our partners “The Shield” support.
The volunteers are grateful for the opportunity to serve those in need and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the community.
